Vegas Vulcan

Vegas Vulcan

VegasVulcan - Inspired by long time BOC fan Mark (Vegas4BOC). Based on a custom Vulcan design of 30 years gone by and brought back to life by J.C. Harper - Luthier. Buck Dharma of Blue Oyster Cult had and played two of these guitars in the 1970's. I've added my own improvements and unique touches to the design, shape and construction making this very much a one of a kind classic.
